R.E.M.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
SONG LYRICS
R.E.M. is an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention because of Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, the group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.
(Follow me, don't follow me)
I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush
(Collar me, don't collar me)
I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush
(We are agents of the free)
I've had my fun and now it's time to
Serve your conscience overseas
(Over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
(Ooooh, ooooh...)
(Follow me, don't follow me)
I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush
(Collar me, don't collar me)
I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush
(We are agents of the free)
I've had my fun and now it's time to
Serve your conscience overseas
(Over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
(Ooooh, ooooh...)
High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one came on the waves tonight,
Comin' in, you're home
We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle
To stop and consider and centered on the pavement
Stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
Our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket
And all this here county, hell, any county
It's just like heaven here and I was remembering And I was just in a different county and all
Then this whirlybird that I headed for
I had my goggles pulled off – I knew it all
I knew every back road and every truck stop
(Follow me, don't follow me)
I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush
(Collar me, don't collar me)
I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush
(We are agents of the free)
I've had my fun and now it's time to
Serve your conscience overseas
(Over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
(Ooooh, ooooh...)
High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one came on the waves tonight,
Comin' in, you're home
(Ooooh, ooooh...)
High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one came on the waves tonight,
Comin' in, you're home
